What is Swimm.io?
Swimm, an application understanding platform that extracts business rules from legacy and mainframe code to accelerate modernization and migration.It combines deterministic static analysis with AI to build a searchable knowledge base and reverse-engineer application architecture.
Swimm maps programs, modules, screens, jobs, and dependencies, enabling dependency analysis and architecture visualization across large codebases.The platform automatically generates diagrams, flow maps, and contextual documentation for code discovery, variable and job-flow tracing, and business logic extraction.
Reverse-engineered specifications and customizable documentation formats provide product managers, analysts, and non-technical stakeholders with current system specs.Developers and modernization teams receive automated code mapping, faster onboarding, and outputs aligned to organizational standards and workflows.
